MISERS
Amos Whittaker, a miserly millionaire, was approached by a friend who used his most persuasive powers to have him dress more in accordance with his station in life.
"I am surprised, Amos," said the friend "that you should allow yourself to become shabby."
"But I'm not shabby," firmly interposed the millionaire miser.
"Oh, but you are," returned his old friend. "Remember your father. He was always neatly, even elaborately, dressed. His clothes were always finely tailored and of the best material."
"Why," shouted the miser, triumphantly, "these clothes I've got on were father's!"
